<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Among
its collection of journals in the
fields of the studies of communication and discourse, Sage, Ltd. (<st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City>) will
publish a
new journal as from 2007 that covers the field between these two
disciplines: <font color="#660000"><i style="">Discourse &
Communication.</i></font><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The
new journal, edited by veteran journal
editor Teun A. van Dijk (Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona), assisted
by an
international board of prominent experts in discourse analysis and
communication studies, aims to publish high quality papers that pay
specific
attention to the qualitative, discourse analytical approach to issues
in
communication research. Besides the classical social scientific methods
in
communication research, such a content analysis and frame analysis, a
more
explicit study of the structures of discourse (text, talk, images or
multimedia
messages) allows unprecedented empirical insights into the many
phenomena of
communication. And since contemporary discourse study is not limited to
the
account of ‘texts’ or ‘conversation’ alone, but has extended its field
to the
study of the cognitive, societal, cultural, political and historical
‘contexts’
of discourse, it is also able to be integrated in the broader study of
these
broader dimensions of communication. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> will publish
substantial research papers, discussion notes as well as reviews and
review
articles by women and men from many countries and cultures. Its
diversity will also be
apparent in the variety of its theories, methods and approaches, thus
avoiding
the frequent limitation to one school, approach or academic sect. The
only
criterion will be the quality, the originality and the analytical
sophistication of its articles. Moreover, the style of its
contributions will
avoid unnecessary jargon, and thus make the journal eminently
accessible to
scholars and students from many disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
